Pilgrims Progress Wetherspoon, hotel in Bedford

Boasting a sun terrace and a restaurant, Pilgrims Progress Wetherspoon is set in Bedford. Featuring a bar, this 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom.

The room was spacious and had plenty of room to hang coats and clothes. Biscuits were also provided with the tea/coffee making facilities. I was especially impressed that the shower had the on/off buttons away from the shower head so yo didn't get wet or cold turning it on or adjusting the temperature. Someone had thought about that!

    Bedford has a great museum & art collection at The Higgins & just around the corner is the world famous John Bunyan museum.Sadly the High Street is in decline with the recent proliferation of out of town shopping centres,but the river front Embankment,Russell Park & the site of Bedford Castle make for good walks. The town has some nice cafes & pubs & there is a market in the square on Saturdays-mainly fruit & veg & food.There are other stalls outside Boots selling clothes.On the other side of town is the larger Bedford Park,complete with Victorian bandstand & public swimming pool. Bedford has some lovely architecture & interesting old churches & pubs. There is a new cinema on the outskirts of town. For clothes shopping etc Rushden Lakes & Milton Keynes are a short drive away,as are many diverse pretty country village pubs for dinner. There is a large independent book shop in town which is worth a visit.

    Bedfords most redeeming features are the River Great Ouse with many walks along the embankment and further, 2 large well managed parks, plenty of history. As a base there are 2 amazing aircraft museums within 30 miles, closest is The shuttlworth collection at Old Warden, a bit further is Duxford Imperial War Museum. There are many other interesting attractions only a short drive away. As well as some really good hotels where quality and service are excellent The Barns for example,

    Due to the bitter cold weather it was was not the ideal place although the market was on and I got the wreathes for the church yards and cemetery so it saved me another trip to Bedford , there was a winter wonderland in Bedford park that is the first time I have ever known anything like that to be in the park.

    The large parks were very well kept and made for a pleasant walk. There is quite a contrast between some areas, the waterfront area is good but some of the suburb areas are quite run down and you may wish to avoid after dark. Plenty of places to eat out.

    A pretty town by the river but the town centre is truly grotty. Walked down the gorgeous d'Parys avenue into convivium of homeless street dwellers noisily drunk and swearing and at least two groups of weed smokers outside St Peters church. The high street was full of very rowdy groups. Then the serene river, along the embankment and up past the museum. Bedford seems to have two sides, tree lined avenues and riverside and a town centre itself that is in the throes of becoming destitute.

    I've never been to Bedford before but was pleasantly surprised. The walk along the river is lovely. There are there great museums, all free of charge. Lots of good restaurants, people were really friendly. We'll definitely be back.

    Excellent location for walking into Bedford (appx 5-8 mins)Breakfast was a cook it yourself continental style breakfast, with a Microwave and Toaster facilities. So scrambled eggs and beans on toast type breakfast. The hotel provided the Tea bags,cereals and complimentary cakes and fruit but you have to bring your own milk. I bought my own eggs, ham and beans. Basically buy what you want for breakfast: different!!. Owner called in to chat to make sure everything was ok which was a nice touch.

    The staff were excellent, both at check in and in the hotel restaurant where I dined in the evening. The room was big and comfortable and well stocked with tea coffee and mineral water. The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure excellent. Best of all was the location - close enough to the town for convenience but far enough to not hear any noise and the car park was a relief as I’ve stayed at other Bedford hotels that are a nightmare!

    Hotel d'Parys is on a leafy quiet avenue of Bedford, still 5 minutes walk to the high street. The hotel is in an old charming Victorian house that fit my taste perfectly. D'Parys has a spacious restaurant area, with the best old world charm. The rooms are spacious, though I don't quite understand the concept of putting the bath tub in the room directly. The staff is very kind & helpful.

    After a very long day traveling from Skye to Bedford I got a very friendly welcome at the Hotel, The staff were all young (compared to me at least) and enthusiastic, they were having fun whilst looking after their customers well. A lovely ambiance. Special thanks to Noah for a kindly beer that lifted my spirits. I had a brilliant sleep the bed was very comfortable.

    Firstly parking at the hotel is very close and only £5 for 24 hours so a winner for a centre hotel. The staff are super helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and had a lovely view. Lastly…breakfast. It was fantastic. The restaurant was immaculate, food was hot and plenty of it. The best pancake maker ever!

    We had an excellent stay, thoroughly recommend this place. So quiet and comfortable and the hosts took such good care of us. Very close to the Bedford township but you wouldn't know it as right in the country.
